Reply #67: I had an Army bud whose nickname was "Pie" [View All]

[chknltl]

"Pie" Cooper was what he preferred to be called, or just plain "Pie". I was never sure what his real first name was, Roger maybe, but we all knew him as Pie. I asked him where that moniker came from and he told me this tale: As a young child he was pulling on the table cloth which was spread over a pic-nic table at a church event and inadvertently caused a pie to fall on him. His relatives referred to him as the "Pie Guy" after that and the nick name was eventually shortened to "Pie"
I have been out of the Army for over 30 years now...I wonder if Mr. Cooper still uses that nick name.
